Sure but that just means Whedon stole a style he liked blended it with Cowboy Bebop and ran with it. Assuming that idiot thought any deeper about where those Western tropes came from is really stretching it.

Judging from the lost cause treatment of a show that got cancelled after one season I'd say plenty of fans took the comparison to heart.

It was a fun show that probably deserved at least a second season but beyond that I don't think it was groundbreaking

It was treated like a lost cause by fox on its debut. They ran the episodes out of order (started with episode 2, ran the pilot after), changed the schedule for new episodes, and didn't run 3 of the episodes.

Firefly didn't get a fair shake off the start, but it probably wouldn't have lasted like fanboys would've hoped.

It's Sic Semper Tyrannis. You said, "Ever faithful terrible lizard."
If anything it owes its rabid fanbase to how it was treated. Had it aired normally it would've lasted 2 - 3 seasons tops and been a relatively fun if mediocre show. Having the show aired out of order and then cancelled made it all the more enticing for fans to latch onto.

Reassuring in the sense that the clean-up and decontamination was successful, and that this is an isolated and targeted event, and not a "whoops, we hosed up and missed a spot and let folks get exposed" moment.

Fox was right about Family Guy the first time.

I mean CD players were still big into the mid 2000s. So uh, 15 years ago? gently caress, I'm old too.

I remember a dumb gently caress in my boot bought a discman and the 50 cent album from someone for way more money than was reasonable so he could listen to in da club a few times before drills took that poo poo to the blackhole of contraband. That was 2003. Ipods didn't take off until 2004/5.

Counterpoint: "The Train Job" was a vastly better choice for a first episode than the leaden, exposition-heavy "Serenity Valley." On this one point, Fox was right and Whedon was wrong.

Get Rich or Die Trying was the first CD I purchased for myself and owned. I was in like 8th grade or something it was amazing and one of my favorite albums of all time my parents didn't know what the gently caress was going on but that's what happens when you're one of six white kids on the football team.

So many heads are being collected under #metoo that I don't even know who isn't a piece of poo poo anymore.

Madurai, you're right that train job was a lighter, better premiere, but it slammed everyone two hours ahead in the storyline and definitely didn't do any favors to keeping it on the air.

I feel the same way about Mr Rogers as I do about Ken Griffey Jr and steroids. He managed to emerge from that era without any accusations and if he had any I would cry.

I fully expected with Robert Downey junior's early drug rampage lifestyle that there would've been something come out by now. But I suppose when you have to share a bang pad in Queens with Michael Keaton because of all the women lining up to gently caress you you ain't got time to harass/assault anyone.

Keanu Reeves has remained clean so far, thankfully. That would be a solid disappointment.
